Singapore Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong has urged businesses to redesign jobs and train workers alongside AI-driven changes to their processes, rather than treating workforce development as an afterthought.
Why it mattersSpeaking at the opening of the Singapore Week of Innovation and Technology on 27 October, Gan said AI should free workers to spend less time on routine tasks and more on work requiring judgement, creativity and expertise. The Jakarta Globe reported his remarks. The useful test is whether employers turn that principle into training and changed roles, not just new AI tools.
Discuss: Should businesses be expected to train staff as they adopt AI, or should workers bear more of the responsibility for keeping up?
